Compared to last week, feeder steers under 700 lbs sold 7.00 to 10.00 higher; 700 to 800 lbs steady to 1.00 higher; over 800 lbs 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 800 lbs sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher; 800 to 900 lbs 9.00 to 10.00 higher; over 900 lbs steady. Slaughter cows sold uneven; leans and boners steady to 2.00 higher, breakers 6.00 to 7.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Demand was moderate. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feedyards sold 2.00 higher at 150.00. In the hay market, prices were mostly steady for a second week while demand remained strong, supplies available to purchase remained slim. Reports indicate there is not much alfalfa out there to purchase, unless one is willing to pay up for it. A number of wildfires erupted across the state over the weekend due to the extremely dry conditions and high winds. Although Monday's rain brought some relief to the eastern half of the state, it did little to help the tinder box out west.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Kansas barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
